Reception

Writing for AllMusic, Amy Hanson said: "Although Linda Lewis' April 1977 album Woman Overboard never managed to muscle its way into the U.K. charts, it nevertheless further cemented the singer's place in British pop history with 11 tracks that effortlessly showcased her unique and dynamic vocal range." [1]

Record Mirror described Woman Overboard as "an album of wonderful and varied delights". [2]
